Recommended Posts

Credits to LourDeath's Greek Mythology Arise set for the idea.

I don't know why, I just suddenly felt like doing an Egyptian set.

 

Notes:

  • The cards are based around Egyptian mythology. PM or comment with suggestions, criticism or major characters I may have missed.
  • Click on cards for legends concerning them, unless otherwise stated.
  • If you're confused or annoyed at my choice of type for them, look at how the gods are represented in mythology.

Human Ra the Pharaoh

[spoiler=Extract from the creation myth concerning this card]

...Re named all things that are upon the earth, and they grew. Last of all he named mankind, and there were men and women in the land of Egypt.

 

Then Re took on the shape of a man and became the first Pharaoh, ruling over the whole country for thousands and thousands of years, and giving such harvests that for ever afterwards the Egyptians spoke of the good things "which happened in the time of Re".

 

[spoiler=Card Effect]

This card cannot be Normal Summoned or Set. This card can only be Special Summoned from your hand when 1 face-up "Sun God" monster you control is removed from the field. When in face-up Defense Position, this card gains the following effect:

- Send 1 monster from your hand to the Graveyard to destroy 1 monster on the field equal to or lower than the Level of the Tributed monster.

 

 

Nu's Commandment

492944e.jpg

[spoiler=Extract from the creation myth concerning this card]

After Ra has discovered mankind is disobeying his commands and taunting him... ...Then Nu said: "My son Ra, the god greater than he who made him and mightier than those whom he has created, turn your mighty Eye upon them and send destruction upon them in the form of your daughter, the goddess Sekhmet."

 

 

Sekhmet the Destructive Goddess

[spoiler=Card Effect]

This monster can only be Ritual Summoned with the Ritual Spell Card, "Nu's Commandment". You must also offer monsters whose total Level Stars equal 7 or more as a Tribute from the field or your hand. All "God" monsters on your side of the field inflict 500 Direct Damage to your opponent's Life Points when they attack, regardless if they are destroyed or not.

 

 

River of Blood

[spoiler=Extract from the creation myth concerning this card]

...Like a lion she rushed upon her prey, and her chief delight was in slaughter, and her pleasure was in blood. At the bidding of Re she came into Upper and Lower Egypt to slay those who had scorned and disobeyed him: she killed them among the mountains which lie on either side of the Nile, and down beside the river, and in the burning deserts. All whom she saw she slew, rejoicing in slaughter and the taste of blood...

 

...Now for many nights the Nile ran red with blood, and Sekhmet's feet were red as she went hither and thither through all the land of Egypt slaying and slaying.

 

 

Trickery of the Blood

492944b.jpg

[spoiler=Extract from the creation myth concerning this card]

"Mingle the red ochre of Elephantine with the barley-beer," said Ra, and it was done, so that the beer gleamed red in the moonlight like the blood of men.

 

"Now take it to the place where Sekhmet proposes to slay men when the sun rises," said Ra...

 

...When day came Sekhmet the terrible came also, licking her lips at the thought of the men whom she would slay. She found the place flooded and no living creature in sight; but she saw the beer which was the colour of blood, and she thought it was blood indeed -- the blood of those whom she had slain.

 

Then she laughed with joy, and her laughter was like the roar of a lioness hungry for the kill. Thinking that it was indeed blood, she stooped and drank. Again and yet again she drank, laughing with delight; and the strength of the beer mounted to her brain, so that she could no longer slay...

 

...Then Ra said: "You come in peace, sweet one." And her name was changed to Hathor, and her nature was changed also to the sweetness of love and the strength of desire. And henceforth Hathor laid low men and women only with the great power of love. But for ever after her priestesses drank in her honour of the beer of Heliopolis coloured with the red ochre of Elephantine when they celebrated her festival each New Year.
